TD) ©NC! GARAGE COMSTRUCTIIOM

The Ponce Garage will be closed May 3rd, 2002 due to construction.

The Ponce Garage will be closed to all traffic and parking as of Friday, May 3rd, 2002 due to construction. The project, which entails adding two more floors of parking to the existing garage, is expected to be completed by August 2002.

In an effort to have the construction completed by the beginning of the fall semester, and to keep construction as unobtrusive as possible, work has been scheduled to take place just before the end of the semester. During construction, 628 parking spaces will be lost. However, alternate parking will be available at Coral Gables Municipal Lots 42 and 43, on Ponce de Leon Boulevard across the street from the Ponce Garage and the Mark Light Baseball Stadium, as well as at the Scodella, Liguria, Albenga, Red Road North and South Lots for holders of current Commuter Student Permits and Faculty/Employee Permits.

The Hurry 'Cane Shuttle Hub will relocate from the Ponce Garage to the Metro North Lot, adjacent to the Metrorail and Ponce de Leon Blvd, on May 3, 2002. At the conclusion of the spring semester, shuttle services will operate its normal summer schedule and routes, excluding the Ponce Garage.

We appreciate your cooperation and patience during the construction period. For further information please contact the Parking Department at 305-284-3096, option #1, or visit the parking website at:
